Hello everyone. I was ADSEP'd out of the Navy back in 2014 for failing the BCA portion of the PRT more than a couple of times. To my surprise, I was given and RE Code 4 and didn't pay it no mind at the time. Not until I wanted to join the national guard as an officer now that I have my 4 year degree. Obviously, I can't with a RE-4. But I did a little digging and found out that I was separated under MILPERSMAN 1910-170 which specifically states I should have been given an RE-3F for weight control failure unless a RE-4 is warranted (its not and it shouldn't have). Not only that, I have an official memo from my CO at the time regarding my discharge characterization. It specifically states that block 27 on my dd214 should have RE code 3F.
So finally, my question is, do I have a good case to get this changed and how do I go about doing that? Should I speak with a NG recruiter?
PS: I spent the last 4 years getting physically fit. I'm good now. Just looking for some guidance here. Thanks!

Just a thought off the top of my head here. You're trying to come back into the military, you got a 4 year degree and want to become an officer. Did you have to take some kind of writing course? Or do you think it is more self deprecating to not capitalize the I in your post?
I'm not being critical, just pointing out something an officer and college grad should know.

PO2 Robert T. - That's up to you, it's just something I noticed as I read your post. I once had an RE-3 and was able to get it changed. But, I had to write up a statement as to why I had gotten that code, and why I thought it should be changed to allow me to re-enlist.

Yes after 5 years you can also submit an exception to policy to D.C. through a recruiter but it would help to have a statement from an officer in the Military to help you out
